Now that the nights are drawing in and the trees are ablaze with the golds and the russets of autumn, I have the great pleasure of announcing that the other highlight of this season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, the RHSCL Annual Drinks Party, will take place on MONDAY NOVEMBER 15th at the Fleming Collection, 13, Berkeley Street, London W1
This year the Gallery is presenting a very special exhibition, a feast for art-lovers and of enormous appeal to everbody with an interest in Scottish culture.
THE GLASGOW BOYS show consists of fifty paintings, some rarely seen in public, and features the work of such artists as Sir James Guthrie, George Henry and Sir John Lavery. The exhibition complements Pioneering Painters: The Glasgow Boys 1880-1900, which can be seen round the corner at the Royal Academy.
As ever, the highlight of the evening will be the conducted tour of the exhibition, with expert comment and analysis from one of the team at the Fleming Collection. But there will also be live music, a tempting selection of sandwiches and sausage rolls, the choicest wines and relaxed conversation with friends, old and new. And all for £25 per head.
For those who are still to sample the Annual Drinks Party, the Fleming Collection is in Berkeley Street, just off Piccadilly. The nearest underground station is Green Park (Jubilee/Piccadilly/Victoria Lines) and is only a few minutes' walk from the gallery. Simply come out of the station on the north side of Piccadilly, turn left and then left again into Berkeley Street. The Fleming Collection is only a hundred yards down on the right-hand side.
Don't hesitate to bring wives, partners, friends or guests: we'll be delighted to welcome them to the party. My colleagues on the RHSCl Committee join me in inviting you to share what is always a very special evening.
